Sarah Garfinkel

Hello, Reader! Welcome to my little corner of the internet. I'm glad you're here.

 

I'm Sarah Garfinkel and I'm a writer, editor, and educator. I live in Google Docs and also San Francisco.

 

I write humor and satire for the New Yorker, McSweeney's, The Rumpus, and Electric Literature, among other fun publications. I'm at work on new creative nonfiction essays which can feel scary but mostly rewarding and fun! Sometimes I interview authors because I want to learn all their secrets. I'm also an assistant editor of "Funny Women" on The Rumpus.

 

I teach writing at Harvard University, Columbia University, Write the World, and 1:1. I've been lucky to work with students all over the world, both remotely and in-person. I love creating and adapting original curriculum for all ages. Genres of writing I teach include personal narrative, opinion/Op-ed, academic essay, college essay, and humor. I'm also developing curriculum for a few brand-new courses (ooh la la!).
